Psa 43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Have you ever met someone that just shines from the inside out? If we read the Bible we can find that Jesus was not handsome. He was not someone that you would look at because of human traits, but there was something about Him that made the multitudes follow Him and a few disciples actually die for knowing or associating with Him.
Isa 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
The Health of how I Look
One thing here in the Philippines, I have seen so many smiling faces. It is the culture people smile
The people of God should also have a “Culture”. We should be people of faith and not people of worry and fear. We should be people of Joy! We are to be a people that represent God to others. We are to shine with His Glory. Reflections of Him! This would show in our Countenance.
God’s People
- A person of Peace
- A person of Joy
- A person of Contentment
- A person with their sins forgiven
- A person with purpose
- A person that has experienced the Love of God.
- A person who knows Who holds their future.
My thoughts
If we have this living relationship with God, it will surely show on our face.
